THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. 


World’s Fairs are of modern origin, and are 
legitimate results of progress in the arts and sci¬ 
ences. When Flanders made woolen cloth for 
all Europe, when the Indies supplied that con¬ 
tinent with silks, Persia and Turkey furnished 
it with carpets, Venice with glass, Saxony with 
porcelain, and Italy with articles of bijouterie- 
each of these nations enjoying a comparative 
monopoly of its specialty—the products of all 
could not, according to the sentiment of the age, 
be concentrated, because the desire was to retain 
the mystery of the art by which each profited. 
But, one by one, the secrets of these and other 
manufactures were obtained by the nations of 
Western and Central Europe ; in some instances 
the discoveries being made by artifices and sac¬ 
rifices approximating the marvellous, and, once 
gained, it was not long until those progressive 
nationalities achieved a mastery in producing 
the essentials of adornment and comfort which 
the world’s advancing refinement demanded. 
Monopoly of production being no longer possi¬ 
ble in any principal branch of industry, the pro¬ 
ducers soon learned the advantage of bringing 
together the fruits of their skill, so that the 
progress each had made could be demonstrated, 
and a stimulus thus be given to further improve¬ 
ment, both in results obtained and in methods 
of obtaining them. These gatherings served 
the purpose not only of schools in mechanics 
and manufactures, as well as in the higher 
branches of art, but they acted as stimulants to 
trade and commerce by demonstrating where 
improvements, had been greatest, and thus indi¬ 
cating the best localities for procuring supplies. 

The first of these general fairs of which any 
authentic record is preserved was held in France 
in 1798, at about the period when that nation 
was entering upon its wonderful career of man¬ 
ufacturing success. This was followed by simi¬ 
lar exhibitions in 1801, 1802 and 1806. Then, 
for thirteen years they were intermitted, while 
industrial progress yielded to military ambition; 
but in 1819 they were revived, and were repeat¬ 
ed in 1823, 1827, 1834, 1839, 1844 and 1849. 
Belgium held one at Ghent, in 1820 ; Ireland, 
at Dublin, in 1829 ; Prussia, at Berlin, in 1844 ; 
Austria, at Vienna, in 1846 ; England, at Bir¬ 
mingham, in 1849, and in succeeding years at 
many other provincial cities; Bavaria, at Mu¬ 
nich, in 1854 ; Holland, at Amsterdam, in 1859; 
and Russia, at Moscow, in 1872. These fairs 
were at most only international—the products 
exhibited being those of the nations holding 
them, with limited contributions from outside 

1 — N.T. 


communities with whom commercial inter¬ 
course existed, and who were attracted by a 
desire for increased trade. 

The first exhibition deserving the name of 
World’s Fair was held in London, in 1851. This 
was followed by one, designed on an approxi¬ 
mate scale, in New York, in 1853. Paris came 
next, in 1855. London repeated its exhibition 
on a grander scale, in 1862. Paris again follow¬ 
ed by one more complete, in 1867; and Vienna 
inaugurated the largest ever yet held, in 1873. 
The South American Republic of Chili held 
one at Santiago, in 1875. Next in order will 
come that in Philadelphia, in 1876, designed to 
commemorate the Centennial of the Indepen¬ 
dence of the United States. As this will be the 
most interesting of all similar exhibitions be¬ 
cause of its commemorative character, as well 
as the largest in area, the widest in scope, and, 
in all probability, the most numerously attend¬ 
ed, a notice of its inception and progress may 
not be uninteresting. 

In December, 1866, Professor J. L. Campbell, 
of Wabash College, Indiana, wrote to Hon. 
Morton McMichael, then Mayor of Philadelphia, 
suggesting the holding of an International Ex¬ 
hibition at that city in 1876, as the most suitable 
method of observing the completion of the first 
century of American national existence, and 
presented many reasons why such Centennial 
celebration should be held in Philadelphia. 
Mayor McMichael, in reply, cordially endorsed 
the proposition in his own behalf, as well as on 
the part of many prominent citizens of the city, 
and promised to take measures, at the proper 
time, to secure its accomplishment. In Novem¬ 
ber, 1868, Professor Campbell wrote a second 
letter to Mayor McMichael, urging immediate 
action, and to this received a reply concurring 
in the opinion that the time had arrived when 
an active efifort should be made to carry out the 
suggestions previously submitted and consid¬ 
ered. 

The agitation of this subject was continued 
in various ways, and on the 20th of January, 
1870, JohnL. Shoemaker, Esq., a member of the 
Select Council of Philadelphia, introduced reso¬ 
lutions, which were unanimously adopted in that 
and in the Common Branch, endorsingthe prop¬ 
osition to hold an International Exhibition at 
Philadelphia, in 1876. These resolutions were 
the first official act relating to a Centennial cel¬ 
ebration. The Legislature of Pennsylvania 
and the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia 
promptly endorsed the movement, and appoint- 











































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION.

ed committees to unite with the joint commit¬ 
tee of City Councils in presenting a memorial 
to Congress, showing the design and scope of 
the enterprise, and the importance of its being 
held under the auspices of the Government of 
the United States. 

The memorial of these committees was pre¬ 
sented to Congress in January, 1871, and in ac¬ 
cordance therewith, Hon. D. J. Morrell, a rep¬ 
resentative from Pennsylvania, and Chairman 
of the House Committee on Manufactures, in¬ 
troduced a bill creating the United States Cen¬ 
tennial Commission, whose duty it was to pre¬ 
pare and superintend the execution of a plan for 
holding an Exhibition of American and Foreign 
arts, products and manufactures, under the 
auspices of the Government of the United States, 
in the City of Philadelphia, in the year 1876, 
which bill was enacted into a law on the 3rd of 
March, 1871. 

This legislation gave the proposed Exhibition 
the prestige of a national enterprise, and the 
commissioners authorized under it were prompt¬ 
ly appointed by President Grant. On the 1st of 
June following, an act was passed creating the 
Centennial Board of Finance, and defining a 
plan by which the funds necessary for the Ex¬ 
hibition were to be raised. 

The Commissioners met in Philadelphia on 
the 4th of March, 1872, representatives being 
present from twenty-six States and Territo¬ 
ries. By-laws for the government of the Com¬ 
mission were adopted; various committees nec¬ 
essary were named, and Hon. JosephR. Haw¬ 
ley, of Connecticut, was elected President of the 
Commission. The meetings of the Commission 
were continued, with some interregnums, until 
the end of May following, and during these 
sessions a large amount of preliminary busi¬ 
ness was transacted, such as defining a general 
plan of the Exhibition, the establishment of a 
financial scheme by which the requisite funds 
were to be secured, and the calling for archi¬ 
tectural designs for the principal buildings to be 
erected. 

The Commissioners being gentlemen of char¬ 
acter and energy, the work entrusted to them 
was steadily prosecuted, often in the face of 
great obstacles and against unreasonable preju¬ 
dices, until not only the entire American Union, 
but the whole civilized world, conceded its im¬ 
portance and joined in carrying it to a success¬ 
ful termination. At a session of the Commis¬ 
sion, held subsequent to the dates given, Hon. 
A. T. Goshorn was unanimously elected Direc¬ 
tor-General of the Exhibition, and Prof. John 
L. Campbell, of Indiana, permanent Secretary. 
These gentlemen, together with Mr. Hawley, 
the President, have been continued in their 
positions to the present time, contributing large¬ 
ly, by their zeal and ability, to the perfect suc¬ 
cess of the enterprise. Mr. Goshorn took up his 
residence in Philadelphia and gave himself 
wholly to the work in October, 1873 ; Mr. 
Campbell about the same time, and Gen. Haw¬ 
ley early in June, 1875. A similar meed of praise 
is due to Hon. Daniel J. Morrell, Chairman of 


the Executive Committee of the Commission. 
A very great and very honorable work was done 
by the associate corporation, the Centennial 
Board of Finance, of which Hon. John Welsh 
has always been President, Hon. Frederick 
Fraley, Treasurer, and Hon. William Bigler, 
Financial Agent—the calamitous financial crisis 
that began in September, 1873, having made their 
labors infinitely more arduous than, under ordi¬ 
nary business conditions, they would have been. 

A clause in the act creating the Centennial 
Commission provided that the President should, 
when informed by the Governor of the State of 
Pennsylvania that provision had been made for 
the erection of suitable buildings for the pur¬ 
poses of the Exhibition, make proclamation of 
the fact. Governor Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, 
having informed President Grant on the 24th of 
June, 1873, that these provisions had been com¬ 
plied with, the required proclamation was made 
on the 3rd of July following. In that procla¬ 
mation the President defines the character of 
the Exhibition, and declares that, “ in the in¬ 
terest of peace, civilization and domestic and 
international friendship and intercourse, I com¬ 
mend the celebration and Exhibition to the peo¬ 
ple of the United States, and in behalf of this 
Government and people, I cordially commend 
them to all nations who may be pleased to take 
part therein.” 

The details marking the progress and growth 
of the Exhibition, from the permanent organi¬ 
zation of the Commission down to the present 
time, when its magnitude is assured and its un¬ 
precedented interest as an event in the World’s 
history established, would, however interesting, 
be too cumbersome for a sketch of this kind. 
Those charged with its management have, by 
constant and timely exertions, overcome preju¬ 
dices, removed obstacles, inspired enthusiasm, 
and secured co-operation, until a complete tri¬ 
umph has been gained ; and when the doors of 
the magnificent monumental structures erected 
are opened to visitors, they will admit represen¬ 
tatives from every land, who will come, not only 
as contributors to the latest object-lesson inhu¬ 
man progress, but as students of the wonderful 
achievements of a century of national liberty. 

Before leaving this branch of the subject, 
simple justice demands that the liberality of the 
State of Pennsylvania and the City of Philadel¬ 
phia toward the Centennial Exhibition should 
be acknowledged. The amount appropriated by 
the State, directly for Centennial purposes, ag¬ 
gregates one million and fifteen thousand dollars, 
and by the City, one million five hundred and 
seventy-five thousand dollars, showing a total 
contribution from these two sources of two mil¬ 
lion five hundred and ninety thousand dollars. 
In addition, the private subscriptions by citizens 
of Pennsylvania amount in the aggregate to two 
millions and a half more, making a total direct 
contribution to the Centennial fund, from Penn¬ 
sylvania alone, of more than five millions of 
dollars. 

The Exhibition will be held in Fairmount 
Park, in the city of Philadelphia, and will be

THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. 


‘ opened to the public on the 10th day of May, 
1870, and closed on the 10th day of November 
following. Articles in the Exhibition, except in 
such collective exhibits as may receive special 
sanction, are classified in seven departments, as 
follows : I. Mining. II. Manufactures. III. 
Education and Science. IV. Art. V. Ma¬ 
chinery. VI. Agriculture. VII. Horticulture. 

The Main Exiiirition Building, in which 
are grouped the departments of Mining, Manu¬ 
factures, Education and Science, located by 
countries geographically, in sections running 
crosswise from north to south, is in the form of a 
parallelogram, extending east and west 1,880 
feet, and north and south 464 feet. This building 
stands upon six hundred and seventy-two s'one 
foundation piers, and embraces in its construc¬ 
tion 3,928 tons of rolled iron, 237,646 square 
feet of glass, and 1,075,000 square feet of roof¬ 
ing tin, equal to twenty-four and five-eighths 
acres. There are 672 wrought iron columns 
used, varying in height from 23 to 125 feet, 
and weighing in the aggregate 2,200,000 pounds. 
The weight of iron in the roof is 5,000,000 
pounds. The larger portion of this structure 
is one story in height, and shows the main cor¬ 
nice on the outside, 45 feet above ground, the 
interior height being 70 feet. 

The general arrangement of the ground plan 
shows a central avenue or nave 120 feet in width, 
and extending 1,832 feet in length. This is the 
longest avenue of that width ever introduced 
into anExhibition Building. On each side of this 
nave there is an avenue 100 feet in width by 1,832 
feet in length. Between the nave and side ave¬ 
nues are aisles 48 feet wide, and on the outer sides 
of the building smaller aisles 24 feet in width. 
Upon the corners of the building there are four 
towers, rising to a height of 75 feet. In two of 
these towers steam elevators are introduced, 
which will carry visitors to platforms where a 
complete view of the entire interior of the edi¬ 
fice can be obtained. One of these elevators 
will be exclusively devoted to the use of women, 
the o<her to men. The area of Exhibition space 
contained in this building is twenty-one and a 
half acres. 

The Machinery Building is located 542 
feet from the west front of the Main Building, 
and is upon the same line, the two buildings 
presenting a frontage of 3,824 feet upon the 
principal avenue within the Exhibition grounds. 
The building consists of the Main Ilall, 1,402 
feet long by 360 feet wide, and an annex on the 
south side of 208 by 210 feet. Like the Main 
Building the principal portion of this structure 
is one story, showing the main cornice on the 
outside at a similar height of 40 feet from the 
ground, the interior height varying from 40 to 
70 feet. 

The arrangement of the ground plan shows 
two main avenues 90 feet wide by 1,360 feet 
long, with a central aisle between and an aisle 
on each side. Each aisle is 60 feet in width, 
the two avenues and three aisles making the 
total width of 360 feet. At the centre of the 
building is a transept of 90 feet in width, 

[ tr + \[ /* Q 

\ 5 " n 

\K H-H 


which at the south end is prolonged beyond the 
Main Hall. This transept, beginning at 36 
feet from the Main Hall and extending 208 
feet, is flanked on each side by aisles of 60 
feet in width, and forms the annex for hydraulic 
machinery. The promenades in the avenues are 
15 feet in width, in the transept 25 feet, and in 
the aisles 10 feet. 

The annex for hydraulic machines contains a 
tank 30 feet by 160 feet, with depth of water of 
10 feet. At the south end of this tank will be a 
waterfall 35 feet high by 40 feet wide, supplied 
from the tank by pumps upon exhibition. This 
building embraces fourteen acres of floor space. 

The Art Gallery is a permanent edifice, 
erected at the joint expense of the State of Penn¬ 
sylvania and the City of Philadelphia, and is to 
be used in connection with the Exhibition, after 
which it will remain as a free Art Museum and 
Institute. It is constructed entirely of granite, 
iron and glass, and is completely fire-proof. 
This structure is 365 feet in length, 210 feet in 
width, and 59 feet in height, rising from 
a basement elevated 12 feet above the sur¬ 
rounding plateau. It is crowned by a massive 
dome, rising 150 feet from the ground, con¬ 
structed of iron and glass, surmounted by a 
colossal bell upon which stands a female statue, 
emblematicof Columbia, twenty-three and a half 
feet high, cast in zinc, and weighing three tons. 
Four other smaller statues stand at the base of 
the dome. This building occupies a command¬ 
ing situation, overlooking the Schuylkill river 
and the city in the distance. In stjde it is mas¬ 
sive and ornate, combining architectural effects 
novel in America but admirably adapted to an 
edifice of this kind. The central hall is 287 feet 
long and 85 feet wide, capable of holding 
8,000 persons. In this edifice the fine arts alone 
will be represented, embracing the richest gems 
of painting and sculpture culled from the col¬ 
lections of the Old and New Worlds. So great 
has been the demand for space in wdiicli to 
exhibit these art treasures, that it has been found 
necessary to double the area originally provided, 
and this has been done by the erection of fire¬ 
proof temporary additions to the Art Gallery. 
There can scarcely be a doubt that the display 
made in this edifice, during the Centennial, will 
equal, if not excel, in extent, variety and beauty, 
any similar exhibition ever held. 

The Horticultural Building is a crystal 
palace of remarkable beauty, and, like the Art 
Gallery, was erected at the cost of the City of 
Philadelphia, as an adjunct to the Centennial 
Exhibition and a permanent ornament to Fair- 
mount Park. It occupies a position command¬ 
ing a wide view of park, river and city, and is 
in the Moresque style of architecture of the 
twelfth century, the materials used in its con¬ 
struction being principally iron and glass. In 
length it is 383 feet, in width 193 feet, and in 
height, to the top of the lantern, 72 feet. 

This edifice is devoted entirely to the exhibi¬ 
tion of flowers, plants, shrubbery, and rare 
botanical and horticultural specimens, collected 
from all quarters of the world. The artificial

temperature creat¬ 
ed causes many 
varieties of lofty 
palms of the tropics 
to grow as they are 
seen in the lands of 
their nativity, while 
orange, lemon, and 
other fruit-bearing 
trees of the sunny 
South, show their 
gleaming fruitage 
through the redun¬ 
dance of verdure 
that clusters around 
them. Surrounding 
the edifice are par¬ 
terres of flowers 
and plants, artisti¬ 
cally arranged,with 
fountains playing 
amidst them, vivi¬ 
fying with their 
moisture the luxuri¬ 
ant growth. Prom¬ 
enades extend in all 
directions through 
these beds of ver¬ 
dure and perfume, 
and the visitor can 2

al Building con¬ 
sists of a long nave 
crossed by three 
transepts,both nave 
and transepts being 
composed of Howe

is 820 feet in length 
by 125 feet in width 
with a height of 75 
feet from the floor 
to the point of the 
arch. The central 
transept is of the

their sides, are roofed and form spaces for exhi¬ 
bits. Thus the ground plan of the building will 
be a parallelogram of 540 by 820 feet, covering 
a space of above ten acres. 

This building is admirably arranged and situ¬ 
ated for exhibits representing arboriculture and 
forest products; pomology; agricultural prod¬ 
ucts; land animals; marine animals; fish culture 
and apparatus; animal and vegetable products, 
(used as food or as materials); textile substances 
of vegetable or animal origin; machines, imple¬ 
ments, and processes of manufacture; agricul¬ 
tural engineering and administration; and tillage 
and general management. The display of these 
articles will be unusually large, comprehending 
all nations, and from this .fact cannot fail to 
possess extraordinary interest to many vistors. 
The exhibits will be arranged by classes, all arti¬ 
cles of a similar kind, no matter from what country 
or clime they come, being grouped together, thus 
affording superior opportunities for examination 
and comparison. The grounds for the display of 
live stock are outside the exhibition enclosure 
but within convenient distance, and contain 
every requisite for the care and comfort of the 
animals on exhibition. In June and July the 
trials of mowers and reapers will be made on 
the extensive and beautiful farms secured for 
the purpose in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, 
immediately adjacent to Philadelphia. Trials 
of steam plows and tillage implements will be 
had on the same farms in September and 
October. The exhibition of horses, mules and 
asses will take place from September 1st to 15tli; 
of horned cattle from September 20th to October 
5th; of sheep, swine, goats and dogs from Octo¬ 
ber 10th to 25th, and of poultry from October 
28th to November 10th. There are three first- 
class driving parks in the near vicinity of Phila¬ 
delphia, and arrangements have been made by 
which the finest and most famous trotting and 
running stock in the United States can, during 
the six months of the Centennial Exhibition, 
be seen in contests for superiority. 

The buildings thus sketched embrace an exhi¬ 
bition space of forty-eight and a half acres, while 
other public and private edifices erected, directly 
for the purposes of the Exhibition, increase this 
space to seventy-five acres. This exceeds the 
area of the London Exhibition of 1862, fifty-one 
acres; of the Paris Exhibition of 1867, thirty-four 
and a half acres ; and of the Vienna Exhibition 
of 1873, twenty-five acres. 

Grand and imposing as these five Main Exhibi¬ 
tion buildings are, (and the general verdict of all 
who have seen them is that they are faultless in 
design and perfect in construction,) they are j r et 
but centres in which the principal features of 
the Exhibition, classified under the five distinct¬ 
ive headings of Manufactures, Machinery, Fine 
Arts, Horticulture and Agriculture, will be 
grouped. Five other edifices have been erected, 
which are properly classified as public, to distin¬ 
guish them from the numerous buildings con¬ 
structed by nations, states and individuals for 
special uses and special exhibits. Of these 
the United States Government Building, 


erected by the General Government, is on< f 
the most striking within the Centennial en< |- 
ure. It. is 500 feet in length by 360 fee n 
width, covering an area of more than four a< 8, 
while its immediately contiguous grounds, 1- 
ized for exhibition purposes, increase is 

space to seven acres. The exhibits made ty e 

Government, in and around this edifice, are : 1- 

tifarious and peculiarly interesting, embrat £, 
among others, specimens of all kinds of coi je 
and currency, by the Treasury Department if 
rare and valuable papers and documents, b? le 
State Department; of all varieties of arms d 
and new, by the War and Navy Departmt s, 
including the heaviest field, marine and fort: i- 
tion ordnance ready for action; of coun 8s 
archaeological, geological and mineralogical i- 
osities, by the Smithsonian Institute; of a i 1- 
ern field hospital, 152 by 84 feet, with comj e j 
equipment, by the Army Medical Bureau >f 
an encampment showing, in detail, the ha' ,, 
modes of life, and surroundings of the t d] 
American Indians on the Western prairies, jr| 
the Interior Department; and of the m< s 
used for recording and predicting dim 
changes, by the world-renowned Weather 
reau. 

The Women’s Pavillion is a very t 
and tasteful edifice, in the form of a Malt v . 
cross, 208 feet by 208 feet. It is emphatically 
■what its name imrdics— a. wnmpn’s Pavillinn — 


w T hat its name implies — a w r omen’s Pavillion 
originated and paid for by the women of 
America, and devoted to the exclusive exhibi¬ 
tion of the products of woman’s art, skill and 
industry. The peculiar characteristics of this 
building, as well as its excellent arrangement, 
will unquestionably make it one of the interest¬ 
ing features of the Exhibition. The remaining 
public edifices, all of w T hich are tasteful speci¬ 
mens of architecture, are the Judges’ Pavillion, 
152 by 113 feet, containing ten committee 
rooms, four private rooms for the use of the 
Exhibition Judges, and two large halls ; the 
office of the Centennial Board of Finance, and 
the office of the Centennial Commission. 

The edifices erected in the grounds, and 
classified as private, are over fifty in number, 
and are dotted on all portions of the broad space, 
presenting a variety of design that adds mate¬ 
rially to the general attractiveness of the scene. 
In this interesting collection the Kingdoms of 
Great Britain, Spain, Portugal and Sweden, the 
Republic of France, the Empires of Germany, 
Brazil and Japan, and the Dominion of Canada, 
are represented. The States of Pennsylvania’ 
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, 
Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Con¬ 
necticut, California, Massachusetts, Arkansas, 
Delaware, West Virginia, Kansas and Colorado, 
each has its special building for the accommo¬ 
dation of its citizens. Suitable edifices are 
erected for the illustration and exhibition of 
photography; for the Bible Society; for the 
shoe and leather interest; for the wagon and 
carriage interest; for the milk-dairy association; 
for the brewery interest; and for the exhibition 
of various schools in America and in Sweden. 















ART GALLERY. 


Plans and models of the cities of Paris, Jeru¬ 
salem and Mexico, on a grand scale, will be 
shown. A Japanese dwelling, complete in all mi- 
nutia — the material used in the construction of 
which, as well as the workmen who constructed 
it, all being brought from Japan — stands near 
one extremity of the enclosure, and a Vienna 
bakery and coffee house are in operation near 
another. Five restaurants are located at con¬ 
venient intervals, all completely finished and 
furnished. These will probably prove as inter¬ 
esting as they will certainly be useful to visitors. 
The Restaurant “ Les Trois Freres Proven- 
ceaux, ” and “ Sudreau’s Restaurant,” are not only 
French but Parisian, their furniture and at¬ 
tendants having been brought from that capital 
of epicurean refinement, and in all essentials 
they will be exact counterparts of the famed 
Cafes of the Boulevards. Lauber’s “German 
Restaurant and Garden ” will reproduce at the 
Exhibition the genial profusion and social pe¬ 
culiarities of the Fatherland, the memory of 
which no wanderer from the regions of the 
Rhine and the Danube ever lets die. The two 
Restaurants, “The American” and “The South,” 
represent both sections of the Union, and 
compare favorably, in all respects, with those 
modeled after the standards of the Old World, 
while no dish peculiar to the taste of “ Uncle 
Sam” will be lacking from their larders. These 


four establishments will comfortably accommo¬ 
date fifty thousand guests each day; and so 
careful have the Centennial authorities been to 
guard against imposition upon the public, that 
an attempt at extortion by any one of them will, 
by the provisions of the concession granted, be 
cause for the immediate closing of the offending 
establishment. In addition to these, there are 
eight other large restaurants in the immediate 
vicinity, outside the Centennial enclosure, and 
minor places of refreshment are multiplied 
almost indefinitely. Scores of soda-water foun¬ 
tains, distributed through the grounds, will 
give forth refreshing drafts, and a fountain of 
pure ice-water, maintained by the Temperance 
organizations, will supply nature’s beverage to 
all, without stint or price. The magnificent 
fountain, erected by the Catholic Total Absti¬ 
nence Societies, stands near the west end of Ma¬ 
chinery Hall, and close by is the Hebrew monu¬ 
ment; while the statue of Dr. Witherspoon, the 
Reverend patriot of the Revolution, rises not 
far from the east end of the main Exhibition 
Building. Several other monumental statues 
are erected in other portions of the grounds. 
Every nook and corner of the vast enclosure is 
utilized or beautified, and wherever the visitor 
may turn he will see something to study or ad¬ 
mire. Above each entrance of the various build¬ 
ings will be a numbered banner surmounted by

a small flag. The color of the flag will corre¬ 
spond with the border of the banner, and indi¬ 
cate the class of the building, viz : Blue—build¬ 
ings erected by the Centennial Commission; 
red—United States and State buildings; white— 
foreign buildings; yellow—restaurants, places 
of entertainment, etc.; green—miscellaneous 
buildings. 

No opportunity such as this Exhibition affords 
has ever been, or probably ever will be, pre¬ 
sented to the American people for observing the 
peculiarities of dress and manners of the nation¬ 
alities of the world. Each department will be 
attended by individuals in the costume of the 
nation it represents ; and thus the Egyptian, the 
Turk, the Japanese, the Chinese, the Moor, 
the Persian, the Spaniard, the Swiss, the Swede, 
the Russian, the South American, and the Pacific 
Islander, will be seen as in his own laud, pursu¬ 
ing his home avocations. The various races will 
be blended on a common ground, exemplifying 
the distinctions of form and feature which sepa¬ 
rate the human family into its dissimilar groups. 
Soldiers in the uniforms of England, Spain, Ger¬ 
many, France, Italy, Belgium, and the United 
States, will illustrate the tastes and traits of those 
powers. The domestic life of many lands will 
be contrasted; and, in countless ways, the kaleid¬ 
oscope of the w r orld, as it exists in the nine¬ 
teenth century, will present itself to the Centen¬ 
nial visitor. 

The grounds on which the Exhibition is held 
are enclosed within a close board fence, nine 
feet high and sixteen- thousand feet, or near 
three miles, in circuit, within which is an area 
of two hundred and thirty-six acres. The w r alks 
and drives through these grounds have a total 
length of seven miles, while five and a half miles 
of narrow-gauge railway, operated by steam, 
surround and intersect them, affording rapid and 
cheap facilities of communication between the 
principal buildiugs and points of attraction. 
Two ornameutal bridges are throwm across inter¬ 
vening ravines, and a crystal lake of more than 
three acres affords facilities for the exhibition 
of Venetian gondolas and other unique water¬ 
craft. All the details of lighting, draining, 
policing, etc., have been carefully provided ; the 
supply of pure water is abundant; retiring rooms 
are located in all the principal buildings, wffiile 
a “House of Public Comfort ” contains separate 
parlors for ladies and gentlemen, barber shops, 
storage rooms and other conveniences. The 
telegraph system includes a central office and 
numerous sub-offices, with wires leading to all 
parts of the country. Ticket offices are erected 
wffiere all arrangements for railway travel in any 
direction can be made. A National Bank within 
the enclosure will afford every facility for the 
transaction of financial business. A select police 
force of ample strength w ill insure protection 
to person and property; and a special fire brigade 
w T ill guard the treasures collected from all danger 
of conflagration. 

The whole area of Fairmount Park, of which 
the site of the Exhibition forms a part, immedi¬ 
ately surrounds the Centennial grounds. This 


park embraces three thousand acres, and is re¬ 
nowned for its natural and artificial beauty.; 
The Schuylkill river—on which steamboats reg- i 
ularly ply, and over whose placid and pellucid 
waters lighter craft compete for local or national 
prizes—flows for miles through it ; the wild and 
wooded Wissahickon contributes to its attract¬ 
iveness ; the lovely cemetery of Laurel Hill 
shows its wealth of monuments and foliage on 
its borders, and a score of places memorable in 
Revolutionary history are scattered over its 
grassy knolls or nestle among its grand old trees. 
Several observatories, rising to a height of two 
hundred feet and upwards, stand in the near 
vicinity of the Exhibition, to the top of which 
visitors are elevated by steam pow T er, and from 
thence have a view for many miles in all 
directions over the surrounding country. A 
few hundred yards distant from the Exhibi¬ 
tion enclosure are the Gardens of the Philadel¬ 
phia Zoological Society, in which is the largest 
and most varied collection of living curiosities 
ever congregated in America. These gardens 
are beautifully arranged, well shaded and care¬ 
fully kept, and comprise every requisite for a < 
pleasant and interesting resort. They are open \ 
at all hours of the day, and at small cost, to the J 
public. 

All the States aud Territories of the Union are j 
participants in the Exhibition, and the Nations of 
the earth officially joiningin the competitive and 
commemorative display are the following: Ar¬ 
gentine Confederation, Australia, Belgium, 3 
Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chili, China, Denmark, * 
Ecuador, Egypt, France, German}', Great Brit- ' 
ain, Guatemala, Hawaii, Hayti, Honduras, Italy, 
Japan, Liberia, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, 
Norway, Orange Free States, Persia, Peru, Por¬ 
tugal, Russia, Siam, Spain, Sweden, Tunis, Tur¬ 
key, United States of Columbia and Venezuela. 
Many of these participants have made liberal 
appropriations for the purposes of the Exhibi¬ 
tion, and among the individuals designated to 
superintend and conduct their exhibits are some 
of the most renowned savants of the Old and 
New Worlds. Months, and even years, of carelul 
preparation have been given to the subject by 
the various participants. The interesting natural 
and artificial products of South America, col¬ 
lected for the World’s Exhibition lately held in 
Chili, have been culled, and the choicest shipped 
to Philadelphia. The same has been done in 
Australia and the South Pacific Islands, where 
the latest wonders in human progress have been 
achieved. Indeed, it may be said that there is 
not a portion of the world where art aud science 
have achieved triumphs—where curiosities and 
treasures are controlled by civilized man—but 
will swell the infinite attractions concentrated 
in llie Centennial Exhibition. 

The price of admission to the Exhibition hasi 
been fixed at fifty cents, and this fee must be 
paid every time the visitor enters the grounds. 
Once in, no additional charge is exacted for vis¬ 
iting any portion of the grand display—the one 
admission covering everything that the Centen¬ 
nial has to show. The Exhibition will be open

from nine o’clock a. m. , until six o’clock p. m. 
The number of entrance gates to the Exhibition 
grounds is thirteen, so located as to facilitate 
the ingress of visitors arriving from different 
sections and by various modes of conveyance. 
These entrances are each fitted with a self-regis¬ 
tering turn stile, and their arrangement is such 
as to avoid all possibility of crowding or confu¬

Naturally, the opening day of the Exhibition 
and the Fourth of July will possess the greatest 
popular interest, and be marked by the most 
general ceremonial observance in Philadelphia. 
The opening ceremonies on the 10th of May 
will be simple and impressive, much like those

of Pennsylvania, the Authorities of 
Philadelphia, the Centennial Commission and 
Board of Finance, the Foreign Commissioners, 
the Judges of the Exhibition, and many dis¬

There will be a chorus of six hundred singers 
and an orchestra of more than one hundred for 
the occasion, under the direction of Theodore 
Thomas. The various national airs will be per¬

Taylor, an original cantata by Sidney Lanier, 
the music by Dudley Buck, an original grand 
march by the great composer Wagner, and 
brief addresses to President Grant, who will 
be escorted to the grounds by Governor Har-

which announcement the flags will be unfurled, 
artillery salutes fired, the chimes and other bells 
throughout the city rung, and the choir and 
orchestra will perform the Hallelujah Chorus. 
The President and his party will then pass 
through the main building, visiting each nation, 
and enter the Machinery Hall, where, at the 
President’s signal, the great engine and thirteen 
acres of machinery will be put in motion.

THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. 



The Centennial Fourth of July will be observed 
by a variety of celebrations. The central exer¬ 
cises, under the direction of the Commission, 
will be of the old-fashioned order. A prayer, 
vocal and instrumental music, reading of the 
Declaration by Richard Henry Lee, grandson of 
the Richard Henry Lee who made the motion 
for the Declaration in the Continental Congress, 
an oration by William M. Evarts, and a poem 
by Bayard Taylor, etc., etc. There will be 
innumerable parades and reviews, salutes of 
artillery, bell-ringing, fireworks, etc. Many 


distinctive celebrations will be held in various< 
parts of the city, all concentrating in the after-! 
noon in Fairmount Park for brief joint exercises! 
and ceremonies. 

During the six months of the Exhibition there 
will be innumerable civic and military parades. 
Troops are coming from most of the States, Cali¬ 
fornia and Texas included, and a great many 
religious, benevolent, military, political, and 
social societies will hold meetings in Philadel¬ 
phia—concentrating there countless hosts of 
participants. 
































































HOW TO REACH THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. 







It is unnecessary to inform many Americans 
that the route by which the Centennial Exhi¬ 
bition can most readily and cheaply be reached, 
is the Pennsylvania Railroad. The manage- 
: ment of that great corporation, centered in Phil¬ 
adelphia, has, from the origin of the Exhibition, 
been zealous in advocating it as an event im¬ 
portant to our people, and has materially as¬ 
sisted in establishing it on a basis so compre¬ 
hensive as to reflect credit on the entire nation. 
Such assistance was perhaps the more willingly 
rendered, because this management fully appre¬ 
ciated the position their system of highways 
would occupy toward the Exhibition, and were 
determined that no omission on their part should 
mar the perfect success of a commemorative 
event of unparalleled interest. 

Prom the great extent and widely diverging 
character of their lines, penetrating, as they do, 
every section of the Union, and directly con¬ 
necting all important centers of population with 
the Centennial City, it was certain from the first 
that the larger portion of travel to the Exhibi¬ 
tion would have to reach its destination over the 
routes they controlled. To this may be added the 
fact that the location of the Exhibition rendered 
it impossible for any other railway to directly 
reach the Buildings and Grounds; and as soon, 
therefore, as the location of the principal edifices 
was fixed, a contiguous and accessible plot was 
designated by the authorities as the site for a 
Centennial Depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad 
Company, at which the requisite connections 
were at once made to facilitate the work of the 
Exhibition. Blended with these preliminaries 
was the fact, also, that this Company desired to 
illustrate the degree of excellence attained by 
the railway transportation system of America. 
Great as the nation’s achievements in other 
respects are, it is yet certain that none has 
reached a higher standard of perfection than its 
railroads, and as these can only be illustrated by 
practical workings, the necessity of making the 
great Centennial route as perfect as possible, in 
all essentials and details, was plainly apparent. 
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company had a good 
basis for the commencement of its Centennial 
work. Its location, between Pittsburg and 
Philadelphia, was conceded to be upon the best 
route uniting the Atlantic Seaboard with the 
Mississippi Valley, while its immediate connect¬ 
ing lines, West, Northwest and Southwest of 
the “Smoky City,” are well known to be as 
nearly direct as proper considerations for the 


travel and traffic of the many important centers 
of business and population they reach would 
permit. 

An examination of any accurate map of the 
United States will show that these routes, above 
all others, follow the geographical channels of 
continental inter-communication, and unite in 
their courses most of the larger cities along the 
southern shores of the Great Lakes and on the 
waters of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, with 
those located on the harbors of the Atlantic 
ocean. The main road between New York and 
Philadelphia, while passing through all the 
principal cities of New Jersey, does not deviate 
six miles from an air line drawn between its ter¬ 
minal points, and this slight deviation is nec¬ 
essary on account of the navigable waters pene¬ 
trating the State it crosses. These routes not 
only excel in directness as well as in the num¬ 
ber of important cities and towns they connect 
together, but they are confessedly superior in 
construction and equipment. Between Pittsburg 
and New York, a distance of 444 miles, the en¬ 
tire line is double track, laid with steel rails 
weighing 67 pounds to the yard, secured to 
heavy oak ties averaging 2,600 to the mile of sin¬ 
gle track, with joints connected between ties by 
a process that gives the effect of a continuous 
rail, on which there can be no unpleasant jarring. 
All bridges on the line are of iron or stone. 
A large portion of this distance is provided with 
a third track, which enables freight trains to 
keep entirely out of the way of passenger travel, 
and permits the express trains to run their 
allotted distances without interruption. This 
third track has been liberally increased within 
the last year to provide additional facilities for 
Centennial travel, and near Philadelphia, and 
other important terminal points, four tracks 
have for considerable distances been completed. 

An important adjunct to the safe and expedi¬ 
tious running of trains, which is exclusively used 
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, is the Block Sig¬ 
nal System, now in operation throughout its en¬ 
tire length. By this system the road is divided 
into sections between telegraph stations, these 
sections being technically known as “blocks.” 
The telegraph stations are ornamental towers, 
two stories high—the second story, which is the 
operating room, being surrounded by windows, 
giving a clear outlook in all directions. The 
signals, so arranged that the engineer of an ap¬ 
proaching train in either direction cannot fail to 
see them, are three in number; red being the 

ll 











12 


HOW TO REACH THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION. 


danger signal, blue the caution signal, and white 
the safety signal. These signals are illuminated 
at night, and show the same colors as by day. 
A train, say, approaches the station from either 
direction, and the engineer sees the white signal 
displayed. This indicates that the track before 
him, to the next station, be it one mile or, be it 
ten miles, is clear, and the train dashes on. 
Instantly the operator lets go the cord (for he is 
obliged to hold the red or danger signal out of 
view by hand) and the red disk is displayed 
again. The object of this rule is, that if the 
operator should fall asleep the red signal would 
drop into view by its own weight, and so stop 
the trains. Immediately on a train passing, the 
operator telegraphs the fact each way, and en¬ 
ters on a record sheet the train number and the 
exact time of its passing the station. The train 
having passed, the block it has left is clear, 
while that it has entered upon is closed. In a 
few minutes the click of the telegraph tells that 
it has passed the next station, and that block is 
also clear, and so on throughout the line. 

A freight train approaches. The white sig¬ 
nal is again displayed, and the train passes 
without stopping. Another freight train ap¬ 
proaches. The red signal is displayed, and the 
train stops. In not less than five minutes after 
the first freight has passed, the red is withdrawn 
and a blue disk appears in its place. This 
permits the waiting freight train to enter the 
block, but it must go with caution so as not to 
run into the one in advance of it. 

Thus train after train reaches and passes the 
signal station; sometimes brought to a full stop, 
sometimes sent in under a cautionary signal, 
sometimes allowed to proceed at full speed. 
The principle of the system is to let no train 
into the block in the rear of a passenger train, 
and to allow other trains to proceed, only with 
a sufficient time allowance, and under caution 
to keep a good lookout for signals from the 
train ahead of them. 

This system of signals renders it next to im¬ 
possible for accidents to occur, no matter how 
many trains may be moving in the same direc¬ 
tion, or at how high a rate of speed they may 
be run. The complete double track, with am¬ 
ple third track for waiting freight or slow trains, 
avoids all danger of collision. As an additional 
safeguard, all passenger trains on the road are 
equipped with the Westinghouse Automatic 
Vacuum Brake, by which the engineer himself 
can bring his train to a stand-still within the 
distance of its own length. Track-tanks are 
also provided along the entire route, from 
which the locomotive engines of express trains 
take water as they go, thus being enabled to 
make runs of a hundred miles or more without 
pause or detention. 

Witharoadway thus constructed and arranged, 
the only desideratum left to be met by the man¬ 
agement, to provide for the largest estimate of 
Centennial travel, was one of locomotive engines 
and passenger cars. These the facilities pos¬ 


sessed by the Company in its own shops enabh 
it readily to supply, and two hundred elega 
cars have been built, ready for use wh< 
required, while engines of the highest class hav 
been provided, ample to move all the trains th 
can, by any possibility, be required. So gre 
are these construction facilities that both ca 
and engines can, in the briefest possible tim 
be multiplied almost indefinitely. 

As much of the travel to the Centennial mu; 
necessarily be from remote points, the Pennsy 
vania Railroad management have arranged 1 
increase the number of through express train 
and to run these on such schedules as will mab 
the hours of departure and of arrival mostcoi 
venient for the public. These trains will, a 
far as possible, pass over the main road in day 
light, thus affording passengers a view of th 
splendid scenery for which the route is so wide! 
and justly celebrated. The hotel and refresh 
ment facilities provided along the route wl 
be equal to the largest demands, and their es 
cellence will, in ail respects, be up to the higj 
standard established and long maintained by th 
Company. 

With this much of introduction—no portion o 
which is exaggerated for effect and no claim pu 
forth that the past has not and the future will no 
substantiate,—the Centennial visitor is invitee 
to patronize the Pennsylvania Railroad as tin 
only direct route from the West, North ant 
East to the Centennial Exhibition. Such vis 
itors will find the rates offered by that route ai 
low as by any other—the route itself the short 
est—the time made by it the quickest—and tin 
accommodations provided unequaled for com 
fort, luxury and safety. They will find carel'u 
agents on all trains who will arrange for tlx 
prompt and cheap delivery of baggage at hotels 
boarding-houses, or private residences, and wlr< 
will, for the low price of fifty cents, sell a sea 
in a comfortable carriage to any point in Phila 
delphia. They will find other agents who will 
if so desired, direct them to comfortable qual¬ 
ters where their accommodations will be go c 
in quality and reasonable in price; and, above 
all, these visitors will be landed in the beautifu' 
Centennial Depot of the Company, at the very 
doors of the Exhibition, in immediate proximity 
to large and excellent hotels and restaurants, 
from which they can, without detention or im 
necessary expense, enter the enclosure contain¬ 
ing the world’s wonders, and from which they 
may, when their visit is over, depart promptly ir 
through cars to their homes, no matter where 
those may be; or, should convenience demand, 
they will be deposited at the regular statior 
in West Philadelphia, from which street cars 
and other modes of conveyance run to every 
section of the Centennial City. These details 
of information will enable the reader to selecl 
the best and onty direct route to the great Inter¬ 
national Exhibition, and, having made thal 
selection, the railroad panorama left for his 
enjoyment is opened to him.

t New Yoke, the extreme eastern terminus of 
t ae great system of transportation lines con- 
s rolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, 
nd the first city in population, wealth and 
ommercial importance in America, is built 
: pon Manhattan Island, at the mouth of the 
i [udson river. This island is thirteen and a half 
liles in length, and about two miles in width 
t the widest part. It is all embraced within 
ae corporate limits of the city ; yet the limited 
rea available for buibling purposes on the 
>land has driven thousands who do business in 
lew York to seek locations elsewhere, thus 
reating numerous large suburbs, such as Brook¬ 
lyn, Williamsburg, and Jersey City. These 
Liburbs are essentially parts of New York,mainly 
eriving their population from its surplus, and 
effecting its prosperity. 

The general aspect of New York is not only 
aetropolitan but cosmopolitan. All varieties of 
rchitecture are seen in its buildings, and natives 
f every land are found among its people. The 
in of traffic rarely ceases within its borders, 
nd the hurry and excitement of business as 
arely abates. The commerce of the world is 
ributary to the city, and the wealth of a con- 
inent is continually pouring into its coffers. 

The city of New York was one of the first 
European settlements made on the American 
ontinent, being colonized in 1614 by an expedi- 
lon of two ships from Holland, commanded by 
Captains Adrian Block and Hendrick Christianse. 
Phis was about fifty years after the settlement 
f St. Augustine, in Florida, by the Spaniards; 
even years after the colonization of Jamestown, 
Virginia, and six years before the landing of the 
filgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts. The 
sland upon which this settlement was made 
vas first visited, in 1609, by Henry Hudson, an 
Snglish mariner in the service of the Dutch East 
ndia Company. Hudson had sailed from Eng- 
and in 1607 in search of a northwest passage 
o India, but after two years of fruitless endeavor 
o penetrate the ice-barriers of the North, his 
>atrons abandoned the enterprise, and he ten- 
Lered his services to what he considered a more 
'enturesome people. He returned to the Ameri- 
:an shores in a schooner-yacht, called the “Half- 
iloon,” and entered the Narrows on the Bd of 
September, in the year above stated. Ileck- 
velder, the Indian historian, describes the 
latives as greatly perplexed and terrified when 
hey beheld the approach of the strange object 
—the ship of the discoverer. They deemed it 




a visit from the Manitou, coming in his big 
canoe, and began to prepare an entertainment 
for his reception. “ By and by the chief, in 
red clothes and a glitter of metal, with others, 
came ashore in a smaller canoe, mutual saluta¬ 
tions and signs of friendship were exchanged, 
and after a while strong drink was offered, 
which made all gay and happy. In time, as 
their mutual acquaintance progressed, the white 
skins told them they would stay with them if 
they allowed them as much land for cultivation 
as the hide of a bullock, spread before them, 
could cover or encompass. The request was 
gratified, and the pale men thereupon, begin¬ 
ning at a starting point on the hide, cut it up 
into one long extended narrow strip, or thong, 
sufficient to encompass a large place. Their 
cunning equally surprised and amused the con¬ 
fiding and simple Indians, who willingly allowed 
the success of their artifice, and backed it with 
a cordial welcome.” Such was the acquisition of 
the site of New York, on the island called Man¬ 
hattan —an Indian name signifying “the place 
where they all got drunk.” 

Hudson proceeded to explore the river which 
now bears his name, and after sailing up to the 
present site of Albany, returned to Manhattan, 
and soon after sailed for Europe, where his re¬ 
port of the newly-discovered land led to the 
formation of the colony already mentioned. 

“New Amsterdam,” as the settlement was 
named by the Dutch, had a checkered history. 
The English, without any claim of right, 
took it in 1664, but the Dutch succeeded in re¬ 
covering it in 1673. About one year afterward 
the Duke of York—to whom it had been given 
by Charles the Second when the English claimed 
possession of it—seized it, and it -was named 
New York in his honor. Prior to British rule, 
the city was laid out in streets, some of them 
as crooked as the paths made by the roaming 
cattle, and “ contained one hundred and twenty 
houses, with extensive gardens.” In 1677 it 
comprised three hundred and sixty-eight houses, 
and the assessed value of property was ninety- 
five thousand pounds sterling. “ During the 
military rule of Governor Colve, who held the 
city for one year under the above-mentioned 
capture for the States of Holland, everything 
partook of a military character, and the laws 
still in preservation at Albany show the energy 
of a rigorous discipline. Then the Dutch 
mayor, at the head of the city militia, held his 
daily parades before the City Hall (Stadt Huys)

and every evening at sunset he received from 
the principal guard of the fort—called the hoofd- 
wagt —the keys of the city, and thereupon pro¬ 
ceeded with a guard of six men to lock the city 
gates, then to place a burger-wagt —a citizen 
guard—as night watch, at assigned places. The 
same mayor also went the rounds at sunrise to 
open the gates and to restore the keys to the 
officers of the fort.”

sisting of a council of ten and eighteen repre¬ 
sentatives, was elected to assist in the adminis¬ 
tration of the government. In 1685 the Duke 
of York ascended the throne of Great Britain, 
with the title of James II, and immediately 
signalized himself by forbidding the establish¬ 


ment of a printing press in the colony which 
was named in his honor. This system of tyran¬ 
ny was continued by the king, and culminated 
in a few years in a popular uprising, which pro¬ 
claimed Jacob Leisler, a Dutch merchant, lead¬ 
er, and invested him with the reins of govern¬ 
ment. Leisler summoned a convention of 
deputies from those portions of the colony over 
which his influence extended, levied taxes, and 
adopted other governmental measures. But his 
rule was of brief duration, for his measures 
awakened the bitterest prejudices. In less than 
two years the experiment of free government 
was abandoned and the “king enjoyed his own 
again.” Leisler was executed for high treason 
in May, 1691.

With the commencement of the eighteenth 
century, New York took a new departure in a 
career of prosperity. Education, which had 
been entirely neglected, was provided for by the 
| establishment of a free grammar school in 1702. 
In 1 ‘ 25 the first newspaper made its appearance, 
and four years later the city received the dona¬ 
tion of a public library of one thousand six 
hundred and forty-two volumes from England. 
In 1732 a public classical academy was founded 
by law, and with the advance of general intelli¬ 
gence came a higher appreciation of popular 
rights. A charter for the city was granted bv 
George II, in 1730. 

A long system of injuries and usurpations on 
the part of the crown now began to produce 
their natural fruit, and New York was not be¬ 
hind its sister colonies in denouncing them and 
preparing for resistance. In 1765 a congress of 
delegates met in the city and prepared a declara¬ 
tion of their rights and grievances. The events 
which followed during the succeeding ten years 
are a part of the nation’s history. The war 
came, and with it a new experience for New 
York—that of military occupation by an enemy. 
On the 28th of June, 1776, the British army and 
fleet, which had been driven from the city and 
harbor of Boston, entered the southern bay of 
New York, and the troops were landed on Staten 
Island. On the 22d of August the British forces 
crossed the Narrows and encamped near Brook¬ 
lyn, where the American army was stationed. 
The battle of Long Island ensued, in which, 
owing to unfortunate circumstances, the Ameri¬ 
cans were entirely defeated. Washington, with 
consummate skill, crossed the East river the suc¬ 
ceeding night without observation, but previous 
disasters and the subsequent landing of the Brit¬ 
ish troops on the island rendered it impossible 
to save the city. For eight years New York was 
the headquarters of the British troops in America 
and the prison-house of American captives. 
Public buildings were despoiled, and churches 
converted into hospitals and prisons. The “ Old 
Dutch Church ” on Nassau street, which at a 
later period was for many years the post office 
of the city, was used by the British as a riding- 
school for their cavalry. But the day of relief 
came, and the British army evacuated the city 
on the 25th of November, 1783, after the inde¬ 
pendence of the United States had been ac¬ 
knowledged. 

With the independence of the country the city 
entered upon a new career of prosperity. Its 
commerce and its population grew rapidly.. New 
enterprises developed new energies ; and it was 
not many years before it assumed the first rank 
among American cities. 

The first government of the United States was 
organized in New York, and in April, 1789, 
General Washington was inaugurated President, 
in the gallery of the “ Town Hall,” on Wall 
street, on the site of the present United States 
treasury building. This ceremony took place 
in the presence of an immense concourse of 
citizens, and was the occasion of much enthusi¬ 
asm and popular rejoicing. — - — l

Space will not permit an extended notice of 
events in the history of New York during the 
present century. A brief resume alone can be 
given. In 1807 a steamboat was built here to 
navigate the Hudson. It was called the “ Cler¬ 
mont,” and was constructed and commanded by 
Robert Fulton, who was assisted in the enterprise 
by Chancellor Livingston. This was the suc¬ 
cessful beginning of steam navigation. In 1825 
the Erie canal was opened, and gave a great im¬ 
petus to the trade and commerce of the port. 
In 1832 the Asiatic cholera appeared, and four 
thousand three hundred and sixty persons fell 
victims to the disease. In 1835 the great fire 
occurred, which destroyed, in one night, more 
than six hundred buildings and property to the 
value of twenty millions of dollars. In 1842 
the Croton Water-works were completed; and 
in 1853 a World’s Fair was opened in a Crystal 
Palace erected for that purpose. 

The New York of to-day has but little left to 
mark it as the city of a few decades ago. Most 
of its old buildings have been swept away by 
the tide of improvement, and palace-like struc¬ 
tures have sprung up to cover and obliterate the 
pasture-fields of the last century. The beautiful 
harbor is filled with vessels of every character 
and clime—the mighty steamer, pulsating like 
a thing of life, as it bears its freight of hopes 
and happiness ; the stately ship, spreading its 
wing-like sails to soar away after the treasures 
of the antipodes ; the bustling little tug, puffing 
and blowing as it seeks out its prize and hurries 
it away ; the beautiful yacht, all brightness and 
grace, dancing over the waves as lightly as fairy 
feet trip upon its polished deck ; the gigantic 
ferry-boat pursuing its irresistible course, carry¬ 
ing thousands to experiences of joy or sorrow 
—all these go to make up a scene which Henry 
Hudson, as he lay rocked in the “Half-Moon,” 
never could have imagined in his wildest flights 
of fancy. 

Broadway, the main avenue of the city, is un¬ 
doubtedly one of the finest streets in the world. 
It commences at the Battery—the extreme south¬ 
ern point of the island—and runs north through 
the heart of the city for a distance of about four 
miles. Like a river, it receives into its channel 
the traffic and travel of hundreds of thorough¬ 
fares, and then pours the hurrying tide through 
the business part of the metropolis. The crowd 
culminates at the lower portion of the park, 
where the Bowery intersects with Broadway. 
Here, from morning until night, there is moving 
by an ever-changing procession of vehicles of all 
kinds, and to cross this of ten-jammed highway 
requires from the pedestrian no little care and 
agility. Throughout its entire extent Broadway 
is lined with magnificent buildings devoted to 
trade and business, with here and there an excep¬ 
tional structure, such as Trinity Church, at the 
head of Wall street ; St. Paul’s, at the corner of 
Vesey street; and Grace Church, at the corner 
of Tenth street. No street in the world can 
show such an array of “ signs ” as gild the sides 
of Broadway. From the sidewalks to the roofs 
of the buildings they garnish every story and

glare in every angle. Most of tlie principal 
hotels, and many of the places of amusement, 
are on Broadway. 

Next to Broadway, the handsomest and most 
attractive street is Fifth avenue, which is 
principally occupied with magnificent resi¬ 
dences. So, also, are Sixth and Seventh ave¬ 
nues, and numerous cross streets i4 up town,” 
which, though probably less aristocratic than 
the Fifth, are its rivals in beauty. Union and 
Madison squares are very attractive, presenting, 
as they do, all the loveliness of umbrageous 
trees, trained shrubbery, fragrant flowers, smooth 
walks, and graceful statuary. 

Central Park is the great attraction of New 
York in the summer months, and deserves all 
the praises bestowed upon it. It occupies the 
parallelogram included within Fifty-ninth street 
on the South, One Hundred and Tenth street on 
the North, Fifth avenue on the East, and Eighth 
avenue on the West. It is two and a half miles 
long, about half a mile wide, and contains eight 
hundred and forty-three acres, of which one 
hundred and forty-one acres are occupied by the 
Croton reservoirs, over forty-three acres by the 
waters of the park, and of the remaining space 
one hundred and three acres are in drives, bridle- 
roads, and w r alks. The cost of the land embraced 
in the park was five million twenty-eight thou¬ 
sand eight bundled and forty-four dollars, and 
the total expenditures for construction, from the 
commencement of work in 1857 up to 1872, was 
seven million four hundred and nineteen thou¬ 
sand seven hundred and ninety-eight dollars, 
making a total cost of twelve million four hun¬ 
dred and forty-eight thousand six hundred and 
forty-two dollars. When the improvement was 
commenced, the site it occupies was one of the 
most forbidding that can be conceived, being 
little else than a huge marsh, relieved here and 
thereby patches of trap-rock, and utterly desti¬ 
tute of natural beauty. It contains about fifteen 
miles of carriage roads, eight miles of bridle¬ 
paths, and twenty-five miles of walks. There 
are throe ponds in the park, upon which boats 
ply in the summer, and which are open to skaters 
in winter. A special feature are the archways 
and bridges, of which there are over thirty, and 
no two of them arealike. The mall—a spacious 
promenade running due north and south, and 
terminated by the terrace, where music is given 
in summer; the ramble; the reservoirs; the casi¬ 
no; the art gallery; the menagerie; the aviary; 
are all features that should be seen by every 
visitor. 

Any sketch of New York would be incom¬ 
plete that did not mention its hotels. These 
are numerous, extensive, and really magnificent. 
The business of the city is of such a character 
as to attract, at all seasons of the year, large 
numbers of strangers from portions of the 
Union, and from every country in the civilized 
world. To accommodate this continuous float¬ 
ing population extensive hotel accommodations 
are a necessity, and the enterprise of the city 
fully meets the requirement. Every variety 
and style can be found, and the traveler must be 

2— n.y. 


difficult to please if he cannot here find his 
“ ease in his inn.” 

No city on the American continent possesses 
so many places of amusement as New York, and 
their number is only equaled by their variety— 
ranging from the highest to the humblest grade. 
It is also the literary and news centre of the con¬ 
tinent. and to it are drawn the aspiring or succes- 
ful author as surely as London attracts him in 
Great Britain. Its churches are fitting monu¬ 
ments to Christianity, and it is no exaggeration 
to say that its pulpit eloquence reaches every 
portion of the Union. In art, in literature, and 
in religion—in business enterprise and financial 
magnitude—in fertility of origination and 
energy of execution—New Y T ork is a fitting 
epitomization of the progressive American 
people. Population, 942,292. Aggregate popu¬ 
lation of city and immediate suburbs, 1,441,234. 

Brooklyn, which lies opposite to New York, 
on the South side of East river, on Long Island, 
is now the third city in population in the 
United States. It occupies a beautiful and com¬ 
manding situation, and is a favorite place of 
residence for many of the solid men of Manhat¬ 
tan Island, who have adorned it with palatial 
mansions. It presents many attractions to the 
tourist, and should be visited by all who desire 
to obtain a correct idea of the magnitude and 
magnificence of our commercial centre. Popu¬ 
lation, 396,099. 

Staten Island is about three miles south of 
the Battery, and occupies a large portion of the 
bay. It rises into hills which can be seen for 
a great distance, and is noted for its beautiful 
and commanding residences, excellent drives, 
and fresh ocean breezes. 

(Since the acquisition of the New Jersey rail¬ 
roads centering at New York, by the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Railroad Company, extensive improve¬ 
ments have been made for the accommodation 
of travel and trade. Ticket offices, where tick¬ 
ets are sold to every point in the United States, 
and where baggage is checked and collected 
from residences and hotels, are located at No. 1 
Astor Place, No. 526 Broadway, No. 8 Battery 
Place, No. 944 Broadway; and at the foot of 
Courtlandt street, and foot of Desbrosses street, 
from -which points ferry boats ply constantly, 
day and night, carrying passengers to and 
from the depot in Jersey City. The Company 
also owns the following piers, where every 
facility is afforded for the convenience of 
travelers, and shippers over its lines: Piers 
Nos. 1 and 2, junction of AVest street and 
Battery place, passengers and freight; piers 
Nos. 16 and 18, foot of Courtlandt street, 
passengers and freight; pier No. 91, foot of 
Desbrosses street, passengers and freight; pier 
No. 35, foot of Franklin street, freight; pier No. 
36, foot of North Moore street, freight ; pier 
No. 38, foot of Hubert street, freight; pier No. 
39, foot of Yesey street, freight.) 

Jersey City, one mile—formerly known as 
Paulis Hook—the seat of justice of Hudson 
county, New Jersey, is situated on the west 
bank of the Hudson river, at its entrance into

_ 

New York bay, and 
mmediately opposite 
New York City, with 
which it is connected 
by large and powerful 
ferry boats, running 
day and night. Owing 
to the number of rail¬ 
roads which terminate 
within its limits, it is 
probably the greatest 
thoroughfare in the 
United States. Its 
water frontage is un¬ 
surpassed, and is never 
obstructed with ice. 

The first settlements 
were made on the 
present site of the city 
about 1623, by the 
Dutch, who claimed 
the territory now em¬ 
braced in New Jersey 
as being within the 
limits of New Nether¬ 
lands. During the 
Revolutionary w r ar it 
was held by the British 
forces, who then occu¬ 
pied New York, and 
. in August, 1779, was 
the scene of a gallant 
£ adventure, thus de- 
^ scribed in Sparks’ Life 
of Washington: “Maj. 
§ Harry Lee, at the head 
^ of three hundred men 
and a troop of dis¬ 
mounted dragoons, 
surprised the enemy's 
post at Paulis Hook, 
opposite New York, 
and took one hundred 
and fifty-nine prison¬ 
ers, having two only 
of his party slain and 
three wounded. The 
plan originated w r ith 
Major Lee, and great 
praise was bestowed 
upon him for the ad¬ 
dress andbravery with 
which it was executed. 
A medal of gold, com¬ 
memorative of the 
event, was ordered by 
Congress to be struck 
and presented to him. ” 

Jersey City was in¬ 
corporated, with its 
present title, in 1820, 
and in 1870, in com¬ 
pliance with the re¬ 
quest of the voters, the 
legislature passed an

(The Pennsylvania Railroad 
, Company has made extensive 
improvements here, and in the 
1 immediate vicinity, to accom¬ 
modate the immense travel 
and traffic centering at this 
terminus of its railroad sys¬ 
tem. More than three hun¬ 
dred trains arrive and depart 
from this point over the lines 
of the Company every day, 
but so perfect are the facil¬ 
ities provided, and so efficient 
is the management, that this 
immense business is trans¬ 
acted without confusion or 
delay of any kind. Trains 
can, if required, be despatched 
every five minutes from this 
depot—the block signal system 
! rendering their movement at 
! such intervals perfectly safe.) 

Marion, three and one-half 
; miles, is the location of an 
I extensive watch factory and a 
large hotel. It is on the Hack¬ 
ensack river. 

Newark, nine miles — the 
; first city in population and 
wealth in New Jersey—is in 
Essex county, on the right £ 
bank of the Passaic river, ^ 
about four miles from its en- ^ 
trance into Newark bay. It W 
; was settled in 1666 by emi¬ 
grants from the State of Con¬ 
necticut, who came to this spot 
at the invitation of Governor 
Carteret, the first governor of 
New Jersey, to enjoy their 
| religion—that of the Congre- 
; ga ional Church—without in- 
i terference or hindrance. They 
1 purchased the site of the town 
from the Indians, and the 
j deed of purchase, bearing date 
July 11th, 1667, is on record 
in the office of the Secretary 
j of State, at Trenton. The 
j consideration of this purchase 
J was “fifty double hands of 
j powder, one hundred bai s of 
lead, twenty axes, twenty 
coates, ten guns, twenty pis¬ 
tols, ten kettles, ten swords, 

I four blankets, four barrels of

| ! equivalent,) and three troopers’

made was considerably ex¬ 
tended shortly afterward, the

consideration, for the extension being “ two 
guns, three coates, and thirteen cases of rum.” 
A local historian, in commenting upon this pur¬ 
chase, says:—“ It must be satisfactory to every 
townsman thus to know that every foot of land 
lying within our bounds was honestly and openly 
purchased of its original proprietors. However 
unjustly the aborigines may have been dealt 
with elsewhere, no act of our ancestors can be 
pointed to with the slightest reproach by the 
most zealous advocate of Indian rights.” 

Like most colonial towns, Newark made but 
little advance in population for the first century 
and a half of its existence, and in 1810 it showed 
an aggregate, including several adjacent town¬ 
ships, of only eight thousand inhabitants. About 
1830 it commenced a career of progress which 
has continued unchecked, and its growth has 
since been remarkably rapid. In 1836 it was in¬ 
corporated as a city, and it now covers about 
seventeen and a half square miles of territory. 
Population, 105,059. 

Waverly, twelve miles. The State agricul¬ 
tural fair grounds are at this station. 

Elizabeth, fifteen miles—the county seat of 
Union county—was named after Lady Elizabeth 
Carteret, the wife and executrix of Governor 
Sir George Carteret. It is pleasautly situated in 
a level and fertile country, highly improved. 
It was formerly the capital and principal town 
of the State, and contains several imposing and 
substantial public edifices. This town was the 
first English settlement made in New Jersey. 
The land was purchased for a company called 
the “Elizabethtown Associates,” from the 
Indians, in 1664. During the revolution the 
town suffered much from its contiguity to New 
York. On the 21st of January, 1780, the First 
Presbyterian church was burned by the British, 
and in the following November its minister, 
Rev. James Caldwell, was shot. 

Elizabeth was originally incorporated by Gov¬ 
ernor Philip Carteret, prior to 1680, by one of 
the most liberal charters ever given in America. 
It continued under the borough charter one 
hundred and seventy-five years, and on the 13th 
of March, 1855, it was incorporated as a city. 
Population, 20,832. 

Rahway, twenty miles, is in Union county, 
on the Rahway river, which is navigable to this 
point. Population, 6,258. The Perth Amboy 
& Woodbridge Railroad runs from Rahway to 
Perth Amboy. 

New Brunswick, thirty-two miles—the seat 
of justice of Middlesex county—is located on 
the right bank of the Raritan river, at the head 
of navigation. It is the eastern terminus of the 
Delaware and Raritan canal, which forms the 
inside water communication between New York 
and Philadelphia. This canal is seventy-five 
feet wide and seven feet deep, and is navigated 
by steamboats and sloops of one hundred and 
fifty tons burden. About 1730 several Dutch 
families emigrated here from Albany, bringing 
with them their building materials, in imitation 
of their ancestors, who imported their bricks, 
tiles, etc., from Holland. It was incorporated 


as a city in 1794. Rutgers College is located in 
this city, and was chartered by King George 
III., of England, in 1770, under the name of 
Queen’s College. The name was changed by 
the State legislature, in 1825, in honor of 
Henry Rutgers, one of its most liberal bene¬ 
factors. The institution is controlled by the 
Dutch Reformed Church. The Theological 
Seminary of this denomination—the first school 
of the kind established in the United States— 
was founded here in 1771. Population, 15,058. 
(Junction of the Millstone & New Brunswick 
Railroad.) 

Monmouth Junction, forty-eight miles. 
Intersection of the Rocky Hill Railroad, which 
runs north a distance of seven miles to Rocky 
Hill, and of the Jamesburg & Freehold Railroad, 
running south and connecting with Long 
Branch, the celebrated sea-side resort. 

Rocky Hill is famous for being the head¬ 
quarters of Washington, after the surrender of 
Cornwallis, at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1783, and 
the house he occupied is still standing. Sparks, 
in his “Life of AVashington,” says: “A house 
was provided for him at Rocky Hill, three or 
four miles from Princeton, where he resided, 
holding conferences from time to time with 
committees and members of Congress, and giving 
counsel on such subjects as were referred to his 
consideration.” Negotiations for peace were 
then in progress, and it was while Washington 
resided here that he wrote his farewell address 
to the army. 

The road to Long Branch from this junction 
passes by the battle field of Monmouth, near the 
town of Freehold, where AVashington had a 
successful engagement with the British forces on 
the 28th of June, 1778. At this battle, history 
records that AVashington accused General Lee 
of treachery, or “ ill-timed prudence,” in rather 
strong language, and his presumed attitude at 
the time of accosting Lee is perpetuated in the 
equestrian statue at AVashington City, and also 
in Leutze’s painting. Another incident of this 
battle has also become historic. In the begin¬ 
ning of the engagement Molly Pitcher was carry¬ 
ing water from a spring to her husband, en¬ 
gaged in serving a cannon, when he was killed 
before her eyes. An officer ordered the gun to 
be put out of the way as unserviceable, but 
Molly took her husband’s post, and faithfully 
performed his duties until the end of the contest. 
Congress, as a reward, voted her half pay for 
life. 

Long Branch is well known to many Amer¬ 
icans as a seaside resort, and ranks among the 
most attractive places of the kind on the Atlan¬ 
tic coast. It probably concentrates, in summer, 
a greater number of visitors than can be found 
at any other similar place in the United States. 
Its hotels are immense in size and elegant in 
their appointments; and the cottages, owned 
and occupied by persons of distinction, are nu¬ 
merous. The surrounding country affords many 
pleasant drives, while the main avenue of the 
town, fronting the ocean, is probably the most 
delightful concourse to be found at any summer

resort, and is crowded, during the 
height of the season, with the tinest 
equipages to be seeu in the country. 

Princeton Junction, forty-eight 
miles. Intersection of branch road 
to Princeton, distant three miles. 

Princeton is a pleasant borough 
of 2,798 inhabitants, and is noted as 
the seat of Princeton College, one 
of the oldest and best known institu¬ 
tions of learning in the United States, 
and also of the Theological Seminaiy 
of the Presbyterian Church. On the 
3rd of January, 1777, Gen. Wash¬ 
ington gained an important victory 
here over the British forces under 
Col. Mawhood, in which engagement 
Gen. Mercer, of the American army, 
was killed, and afterwards buried in 
Christ Church, Philadelphia. The 
College buildings and grounds pos¬ 
sess great interest, and visitors will 
find in and around them much to 
see and admire. Nassau Hall, the 
main edifice, was built in 1756, and 
although twice destroyed by fire, its 
walls are the same as first construct¬ 
ed. When erected it was the largest Ed 
edifice in the Colonies, and was -d 
named by Governor Belcher, of New w 
Jersey, “to the immortal memory n 
of King William the Third,” who g 
was of the house of Nassau. During sa 
the Revolutionary war it was occu- o 
pied alternately as a barrack and W 
hospital by both the British and 
American forces, 
and in the battle 
of Princeton was 
struck by cannon 
balls, the indenta¬ 
tion made by one 
being still visible. 

In 1783, when the 
Continental Con¬ 
gress was obliged 
to leave Philadel¬ 
phia because of 
the yellow fever, 
it adjourned to 
Princeton, and 
held its sessions in 
the library room 
of the College,then 
in the second story 
of this hall. In 
the present library ^ v 'nY'’

uable portraits are 
preserved, among K

ture is said to have formerly contained a por¬ 
trait of George the Second, presented by Gov¬ 
ernor Belcher. During the battle a cannon 
ball crashed through a window and destroyed 
this portrait. Two of Dr. Franklin’s electrical 
machines are preserved in the philosophical hall 
of the college, and two cannon, abandoned in 
the battle, are planted in the college grounds. 

Trenton, seventy mile^—the capital of New 
Jersey and seat of justice of Mercer county— 
is situated on the left bank of the Delaware 
river, at the head of navigation. The river at 
this point abruptly changes its character. Below 
it is a wide channel of commerce, flowing be¬ 
tween low sand and alluvial banks, and feeling 
the pulsations of the tides of the great Atlantic, 
while above it is a rippling stream, fringed by 
wooded hills, and presenting many vistas of 
beauty. 

The first settlements were made on the site of 
Trenton about the year 1680, by Israel Pember¬ 
ton, an English Quaker, and others, and in 1720 
the present name was given to the city in honor 
of Colonel William Trent, then speaker of the 
house of assembly. The place was selected as 
the capital of New Jersey in 1790, and incorpo¬ 
rated in 1792. 

The early history of Trenton is full of interest 
to Americans. It was through it and to the 
Pennsylvania side of the Delaware, immediately | 
opposite, that Washington retreated, with his 
shattered and almost disheartened army, after 
the reverses suflcred on Long Island, in the 
vicinity of New York, in 1776, crossing the 
river on the 8th of December of that year. 


Although the river was not frozen, it yet pre¬ 
sented a barrier to the pursuing forces—con¬ 
sisting principally of Hessians, under Colonel 
Rahl—which they did not dare to cross, and 
they went into camp on the Trenton side. Here 
they remained in confident security, anticipat¬ 
ing no danger from the patriots on the opposite 
side, many of whom Washington, in one of his 
dispatches, describes as being “quite barefoot 
and ill-clad.” But their security was of short 
duration, for on the morning of the 26th of De¬ 
cember Washington and his forces recrossed 
the Delaware, surprised and completely routed 
the enemy, capturing nearly one thousand of 
them. In this encounter Colonel Rahl, the Hes¬ 
sian commander, was killed. After the engage¬ 
ment, the Americans returned to the Pennsyl¬ 
vania side of the river. This blow was as en¬ 
couraging to the patriotic Americans as it was 
astounding to the British. In conception and 
in daring it was so utterly unexpected, and its 
success so brilliant that it compelled both friends 
and foes alike to respect and admire the Ameri¬ 
can army and its leader. But Washington w T as 
not content to end the campaign with the laurels 
thus won. He knew that the scales between 
hope and despair were almost equally poised, 
and that determined action alone could turn the 
balance in favor of liberty. He, therefore, re- 
crossed the Delaware, on the 1st of January, 
1777, and with his handful of men prepared to 
encounter the army of Lord Cornwallis in Tren¬ 
ton. On the 2d he met, and by courage and 
skill baffled, if he did not actually defeat, the 
enemy. This engagement continued during the

entire day, commencing in the morning on the 
northern outskirts of Trenton, and terminating 
I in the evening at the bridge over the Assunpink, 
in the city. Soon after midnight the American 
forces withdrew from the position they held in 
front of the British, and by a forced march 
reached Princeton, ten miles distant, where they 
fought the successful battle described in the 
sketch of that town. In the engagement at 
Trenton, Lieutenant Monroe, of a Virginia regi¬ 
ment—who was afterwards President of the 
United States—was wounded, and the weather 
was so intensely cold that several American 
soldiers were frozen to death. These movements 
and successes of the American army inspired 
new hope in the colonies, and enabled Washing¬ 
ton to go into winter quarters at Morristown, 
New Jersey, instead of abandoning the State to 
the hitherto triumphant foe. 

In 1793 the public offices of the United States 
Government w T ere removed here, during the 
prevalence of the yellow fever in Philadelphia, 
and in 1798 Mr. Adams, President of the United 
States, took up his residence, temporarily, in 
Trenton. Population, 22,874. 

(Two lines of railway belonging to the Penn¬ 
sylvania Railroad Company run to New York 
from Trenton—the main route and that via 
Bordentown and South Amboy. Two lines also 
connect with Philadelphia—one by way of Cam¬ 
den, on the Jersey side of the Delaware, and the 
principal road through Pennsylvania. The Bel- 
videre Delaware Railroad, a division of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, running along the beau¬ 
tiful and picturesque shore of the Delaware river 
to the celebrated Water Gap, one of the most 


delightful summer resorts in America, and the 
wonderful mineral region of the Lehigh valley— 
terminates in Trenton.) 

The Delate are Water Gap may justly be 
classed among the most picturesque scenery 
to he found in America. Here the river has 
forced its way through the great Blue Ridge 
chain of mountains, and in so doing has carved 
the face of Nature into wonderful shapes and 
forms. It is compressed, for a distance of two 
miles, into a narrow gorge, scarcely allowing 
space for a roadway. The mountains rise pre¬ 
cipitately from the clear, deep water to a 
height varying from a thousand to twelve hun¬ 
dred feet, and are covered by a dense forest 
growth, which softens their hard ouilines and 
subdues their ruggedness. The streams seeking 
outlets here into the Delaware are broken into 
cascades and cataracts, and the rocks are pierced 
by deep caves and dark chasms. For miles 
above this point the Delaware is remarkable for 
its scenic attractions, which are sought out and 
enjoyed in summer by thousands of visitors. 

The road from Trenton, following the East 
side of the Delaware, connects at Camden, op¬ 
posite Philadelphia, with the West Jersey Rail¬ 
road, (also controlled by the Pennsylvania Rail¬ 
road Company,) to Cape Ma^, a particularly 
attractive seaside resort, at the extreme southern 
point of New Jersey, where Delaware Bay enters 
from the ocean. Ho place in America of proba¬ 
bly in the world has such a safe and beautiful 
beach for bathing as Cape May—the waves of 
the mighty Atlantic rolling in over a wide, shelv¬ 
ing shore of smooth sand, as regularly as if 
turned by machinery, and breaking into foamy

ripples which chase each other far up the 
bank. The accommodations for visitors here 
are unsurpassed, someoi the hotels ranking wiih 
the finest in America ; and the streets and road¬ 
ways of the town are.well kept, affording de¬ 
lightful drives and promenades. 

Morrisville, fifty-nine miles, is immediately 
opposite Trenton, on the Pennsylvania side of 
the Delaware river, in Bucks county. During 
the Revolutionary war it was several times 
occupied as a camp of the American army, and 
here it was that Robert Morris, after whom it is 
named, paid over to General Washington the 
fifty thousand dollars he had borrowed on his 
own credit from the merchants of Philadelphia, 
which sum materially assisted the Father of 
our Country to keep his army together, capture 
the Hessians at Trenton, check Cornwallis* tri¬ 
umphant advance, defeat Mawhood at Princeton, 
and turn the tide of success in favor of Amer¬ 
ican Independence. Morrisville was the resi¬ 
dence of Gen. Victor Moreau while in America, 
after his banishment from France. Population, 
813. 

Tullytown, sixty-two miles. Population, 
150. 

Bristol, sixty-eight miles, is the most impor¬ 
tant and populous town in Bucks county, one of 
the three original counties established by Penn 
on the organization of his colony. It was in¬ 
corporated as a borough in 1720, being the 
second in the province. The town contains 
some venerable buildings—among them a 
Friends’ meeting-house built in 1712, and an 
Episcopal church more than a century old. 
About five miles above Bristol, on the shore of 
the Delaware, Penn’s manor of Pennsbury was 
located. Here he had erected a fine mansion 
immediately after the settlement of his colony, 
in which he hoped to live, with his family, en¬ 
joying the honors of his station and surrounded 
by an affectionate and happy people. But his 
dream was never realized, and the mansion wenl 
to decay. During the early portion of the Rev¬ 
olutionary war Bristol was occupied as a camp 
of rendezvous and instruction for the Penn¬ 
sylvania volunteers under General Cadwallader. 
Population, 3,2G9. 

Holmesburg, seventy-eight miles. A sub¬ 
urb of Philadelphia and within the city limits. 
Junction of branch road to Bustleton, distant 
four miles, also within the limits of the city. 

Tacony, seventy-nine miles. Within the 
corporate limits of Philadelphia. 

Bridesburg, eighty-one miles. Within the 
corporate limits of Philadelphia. A United 
States arsenal is located here. 

Frankford, eiglity-two miles. An impor¬ 
tant suburb within the corporate limits of Phila¬ 
delphia. The Frankford Arsenal—one of the 
most extensive belonging to the United States 
Government—is located here. Junction of 
branch road to Kensington, which is a part of 
the compactly-built portion of the city, and the 
terminus of the branch. 

.Germantown Junction, eighty-six miles. 
Point of intersection of the Germantown, Norris¬ 


town, and Chestnut Hill Railroads. Germantown 
and Chestnut Hill are within the corporate limits 
of Philadelphia. 

Mantua Junction, eighty-eight miles. Here 
the Pennsylvania and New York Divisions of 
tfhe Pennsylvania Railroad unite. 

Centennial Depot, eighty-nine miles. A 
special station, reached bv circular tracks from 
the main road, established by the Pennsylvania 
Railroad Company for the accommodation of 
Centennial visitors. This depot is accessible by 
trains from all directions. 

Philadelphia, ninety miles, terminus of the 
New York Division—the second city in the 
United States in population, and the first in the 
number of its buildings, territorial area and man¬ 
ufacturing importance—is built upon the right 
bank of the Delaware river, at the confluence of 
the Schuylkill, ninety-six miles from the ocean. 
It was laid out by direction of William Penn, the 
proprietor and founder of Pennsylvania, in 1G82. 

The first colony for Pennsylvania left England 
in August, 1681, in three ships, and the earliest 
to arrive was the ship “ John and Sarah,” from 
London, commanded by Captain Smith. These 
colonists landed at the Swedish settlement of 
Upland (now Chester) and remained there during 
the first winter. At the time of their arrival 
Philadelphia had not been located. Indeed, it 
would seem that Penn was in no great hurry to 
lay out his metropolis, being determined to select 
the most available position for it. This was 
finally accomplished, and in 1G83 Penn writes, 
saying, “ Philadelphia is at last laid out, to the 
great content of those here;” and adds, 41 of all the 
many places I have seen in the world, I remem¬ 
ber not one better seated, so that it seems to me 
to have been appointed for a town.” The survey 
•was made by Thomas Holme, who had been in 
England appointed surveyor general of the pro- i 
vince, and arrived here in the early part of the 
summer of 1682. His plot of the city w T as com- ; 
pleted about the end of that year, and copies of 
his original map are still in existence. The ground 
embraced in his survey extended from Cedar 
street on the south to Vine street on the north, 
running through from the Delaware to the Schuyl¬ 
kill, being about one mile in width and two 
miles in length, and this continued to be the 
limits of the “ old city” up to the consolidation 
of the districts, and, in fact, the entire county, in 
1854. At the time this survey was made, there 
were no improvements within its limits. The 
Swedes had a settlement on its southern bor¬ 
der, made as early as 1637, and it is proba¬ 
ble that some lived north of it; but its area was 
an unbroken wilderness, intersected by creeks 
and streams, dotted with swamps and ponds, and 
crossed at various places by Indian paths. The 
forest trees were noted for their magnitude, and 
gave to the place the Indian name of Coaqua- 
nock, signifying “the place of tall pines.” On 
the Delaware front was a high bank, in which 
the first settlers excavated caves, where they re¬ 
sided while their new homes were being erected. 
Philadelphia was organized as a borough, with a 
mayor and six aldermen, in 1G84; and on the

25th of October, 1701, Penn granted it a charter 
as a city. From its foundation it may be said to 
have had an uninterrupted career of prosperity. 
Freed, as it was, from hostile Indians, and hav¬ 
ing none of the calamities to contend with which 
so harassed and impoverished the early settle¬ 
ments in Virginia and New England, it increased 
steadily in population and commerce, and soon 
became the first city on the continent—a position 
it continued to hold until long after the Revolu¬ 
tionary war, and in some respects still main¬ 
tains. 

Notwithstanding its rapid improvement and 
growth, Philadelphia possesses more relics of the 
past—more edifices around which hang a halo of 
history—than any other city in the Union. The 
oldest among these is a portion of Penn’s cot¬ 
tage, in Letitia court—a small street running 
from Market to Chestnut, between Front and 
Second. This was built for Penn’s use before 
his first arrival in the colony. It is a little two- 
story brick house, and is now occupied as a 
tavern. Near it is the Old London Coffee House, 
on the corner of Front and Market streets, a 
noted place in early colonial days, which is at 
present a tobacco store. It was built in 1702. 
The old Swedes’ Church, which stands on Swan¬ 
son street, (so named from the Swedish family 
who once owned all the land in that part of the 
city,) below Christian, is one of the most vener¬ 
able edifices in America. The first church upon 
the site was erected in 1677, and served both for 
a place of worship and of defense, being con¬ 
structed with loop-holes and other appliances of 
defensive warfare. The present brick edifice 
was built in 1700. Another sacred relic of colo¬ 
nial times is Christ Church, on Second street, 
north of Market. It was begun in 1727 and fin¬ 
ished by the raising of the steeple in 1754. Its 
chime of bells is among the oldest this side of 
the Atlantic. On the tenor is inscribed, “ Christ 
Church, Philadelphia. Thomas Lester and 
Thomas Peck, of London, made us all.” When 
the British troops tookPhiladelphia, these bells, 
like others in the city, were removed to prevent 
them falling into the hands of the enemy and 
being cast into cannon. They returned with the 
patriots, and have remained to peal forth their 
music ever since. In their time they have sum¬ 
moned to worship some of the greatest men the 
country has produced. Washington was a regu¬ 
lar attendant at Christ Church when President 
of the United States, and many of the heroes and 
patriots of the “times that tried men’s souls” 
rest in its vaults. 

“ Independence Hall,” the Mecca of American 
freemen, stands on Chestnut street, between 
Fifth and Sixth. It was commenced in 1729 and 
completed in 1734. This building has been so 
often described that almost every school-boy is 
familiar with its history. It was in it that the 
Declaration of Independence was considered 
and adopted, and from its portals it was pro¬ 
claimed. In it Washington read his farewell 
address to the American people ; in it the Arti¬ 
cles of Confederation were adopted in 1778 ; 
and in it the Constitution of the United States 


was framed in 1787. Almost every name and 
every incident connected with the birth of the 
nation is associated with this edifice. Another 
edifice, scarcely less sacred, is “Carpenters’ 
Hall,” which stands to the south of Chestnut 
street, between Third and Fourth streets, and is 
reached by a passage-way from the street first 
named. It was built in 1770 by the Association 
of House Carpenters, and is still owned by them. 
The first Colonial Congress assembled in this 
building September 5tli, 1774—that body which 
Lord Chatham declared to Benjamin Franklin 
to be “the most honorable assembly of men 
that had ever been known,”—and it w r as in it 
that Patrick Henry poured forth those passionate 
appeals for liberty which so electrified the colo¬ 
nies. 

More than three-quarters of a century passed 
peacefully away while the colonists of Penn 
and their descendants were building up the city, 
founding a State, and firmly establishing those 
principles of justice and liberty which induced 
them to seek homes in the new world. But the 
long reign of peace ended, and the colonies pre¬ 
pared to resist oppressions on the part of the 
mother country which they could no longer en¬ 
dure. The first Colonial Congress met, and, after 
declaring their determination to insist upon their 
rights as men and as freemen, adjourned. The 
second convened in Independence Hall, on the 
10th of May, 1775. When it adjourned, the colo¬ 
nists had girded on their armor, and pledged 
their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor 
to be free and independent. Philadelphia then 
became, more than ever, the center of the United 
colonies, and for the next eight years its history 
is a most stirring one. It was here that Washing¬ 
ton was proclaimed commander-in-chief of all 
the forces raised and to be raised for the achieve¬ 
ment of independence. It was here that Mercer 
and Wayne and Sullivan, and hundreds of other 
heroes whose names are immortal, rallied around 
the great chieftain, never to desert him while life 
lasted and the cause he championed needed their 
services. It was here that Robert Morris planned 
and executed his financial schemes, which kept 
the suffering band of patriots together through 
the long struggle that so gloriously terminated 
with the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. 
During this struggle the country around Phila¬ 
delphia was made sacred by several battles. To 
the west, and at the distance of but a few miles, 
lies the field of Brandywine, wheie the Ameri¬ 
cans, under Washington, so gallantly but fruit¬ 
lessly contended for an entire day, on the 11th 
of September, 1777, against the well-appointed 
veterans of Great Britain, commanded by Gen¬ 
eral Howe. Again, at Germantown, within the 
present city limits, the same forces met, on the 
4th of October of the same year, and fought 
with equal desperation but with a similar result. 
It was at Red Bank, a month later, in sight of 
the city, that the Hessians were so gallantly re¬ 
pulsed by Colonel Greene, and Count Dunop, 
their commander, fell and lies buried. It was 
through the counties of Chester and Bucks that 
“ Mad Anthony Wayne ” and Col. John Lacy

and their Pennsylvanians raided, with a daring 
that no obstacles could check, for provisions to 
: feed Washington’s starving army at Valley 
Forge. It was through the streets of Philadel¬ 
phia that the Hessians, captured at Trenton, 
were marched by their tattered guards. It was 
through the same streets that the entire Conti¬ 
nental army paraded, headed by Washington, 
when it became necessary to convince the doubt¬ 
ing that the struggle against the power of Great 
Britain was not a hopeless one. And it was here 
that Pennsylvania’s committee of safety put forth 
that unconquerable zeal and determination which 
knew no shadow of fear and no abatement of hope 
until the war had accomplished all they desired* 

During the war the British forces had posses¬ 
sion of Philadelphia about nine months, having 
entered it on the 26th of September, 1777, and 
evacuated it on the 19th of June, 1778. After 
the evacuation, the American army retook pos¬ 
session, and General Benedict Arnold was placed 
in immediate command. His style of living 
rivaled that of the English lords wdio had pre¬ 
ceded him ; and it is believed that this extrava¬ 
gance led to embarrassments which afterward 
caused him to attempt the sale of,,his country. 
The Continental Congress resumed its sessions 
here, and the invaders never again trod the 
streets of the city. From that time until the close 
of the war Philadelphia continued to be the cen¬ 
ter and capital of the struggling colonies. 

When peace was proclaimed and the national 
existence recognized, New York became, for a 
time, the seat of government; but in 1790 it was 
removed to Philadelphia, where it remained for 
ten years, and then was finally fixed at Washing¬ 
ton. The re-establishment of the national capi¬ 
tal here brought with it Washington, who was 
then President; John Adams, Vice-President ; 
and Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, 
General Knox, and others who were connected 
with the cabinet. Not one of the mansions oc¬ 
cupied by these men is now standing. Congress 
held its sessions in the building at the southeast 
corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets, which still 
remains, externally, in the condition it then was, 
the House of Representatives occupying the first 
floor and the Senate the second. The Supreme 
Court of the United States sat on the second floor 
of the building at the corner of Fifth and Chest¬ 
nut streets, now occupied by the mayor. 

After the removal of the ‘seat of government 
to Washington, Philadelphia lost much of its 
political prestige, but none of its importance as 
a place of business. The commerce of the city 
grew rapidly during the early part of the nine¬ 
teenth century, and its supremacy in this respect 
over all American rivals was unquestioned. 
Trade with the East and West Indies developed 
into prominence, and the accumulation of wealth 
by merchants was rapid and vast. Some of the 
names connected with this commerce are famil¬ 
iar to most readers, and one of them, by the 
magnificent charity and wonderful foresight of 
him who bore it, is so blended with Philadelphia 
that no sketch of the city could be complete 
without its mention. 


Stephen Girard came to Philadelphia in his 
youth, comparatively poor. He was a French¬ 
man by birth, but at an early age went to sea 
and followed it for many years. It was as cap¬ 
tain of a ship that he first entered the Delaware, 
and he continued to make his voyages for some 
time after he had fixed upon this as his home. 
Finally he settled down in Philadelphia as a gen¬ 
eral trader, and by his almost supernatural 
sagacity and indomitable energy accumulated 
the largest fortune ever, up to that period, gained 
by an American. He died in 1832, leaving all 
his property, with the exception of a few insig¬ 
nificant personal bequests, to the city. At that 
time his estate, so bequeathed, was estimated at 
several millions of dollars, and now it is probably 
worth more than fifty millions. A part of this 
estate was, by his will, to be devoted to the foun¬ 
dation of a college, which should accommodate 
not less than three hundred children, who must 
be poor, white male orphans, between the ages 
of six and ten years, and who are to be sup¬ 
ported and instructed until they arrive at the age 
of sixteen, when they must be apprenticed to 
good trades or other useful avocations. To meet 
this requirement the city erected, on the site 
designated and bequeathed by Girard, consisting 
of forty-five acres of ground on Ridge road, a 
structure at a cost of two millions of dollars, 
which is one of the most beautiful buildings in 
America, and the truest specimen of Grecian 
architecture of modern times. It now contains 
five hundred and forty-six pupils, and the number 
is from year to year increased. 

As the.city grew in population and extent it 
was found that the divided authority which ex¬ 
isted in it and its many suburbs, called districts, 
was a serious obstacle to the preservation of 
order. This led to the consolidation, in one 
municipality and under one charter, of the entire 
county of Philadelphia, in 1854. By this act it 
became the largest city in territorial area in Amer¬ 
ica, and second only to London, in Europe. Its 
limits now embrace one hundred and twenty 
square miles,—the extreme length, north and 
south, being twenty-three miles, and the width, 
from east to west, averaging about five and a half 
miles. Within this area are embraced a number of 
suburban villages. Among these, Germantown, 
Chestnut Hill, and Torresdale,are noted for their 
elegant residences ; Roxborough, Manayunk, 
Falls of Schuylkill, and Frankford, are cele¬ 
brated for their manufactories ; and Bybefry, 
Holmesburg, and others, are rural villages. Each 
of these places has its history as well as its 
peculiarities—the first frequently being as ro¬ 
mantic as the second is striking, but the}'- are 
all now parts of one grand and varied munici¬ 
pality. 

During the last few years the commerce of 
Philadelphia, which had languished for a long 
time, has been greatly stimulated, and it is 
probable that within the next decade it will 
grow to proportions greater than ever before. 
The transportation system controlled by the 
Pennsylvania Railroad Company is making 
Philadelphia a principal outlet for the products

of the West, and the shipping interests of Eu¬ 
rope are fast learning that freights can as cer¬ 
tainly, conveniently and cheaply be obtained 
here as at any American port. In consequence 
of this, regular lines of steamers have already 
been established, principally through the aid of 
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, to and 
from Antwerp and Liverpool, and irregular 
steamers are arriving from many other Euro¬ 
pean ports. Sailing vessels from India, China, 
the West India Islands, South America, and 
Italy, can at all times be seen loading and un¬ 
loading at the wharves, and local lines of steam¬ 
ships connect Philadelphia with Havana, New 
Orleans, Savannah, Wilmington and Charleston. 


With a history embracing so much that is 
interesting to Americans—with resources which 
have stimulated its manufactories to the highest 
degree of proficiency and prominence—with su¬ 
perior transportation connections binding it to 
all portions of the United States—with a com¬ 
paratively unlimited area open to its growth— 
with a rich and vast territory tributary to its 
markets—with its commerce resuscitated and 
rapidly growing in importance—Philadelphia 
can fairly claim a position among the great 
cities of the world.

CAEE MAY. 

( See Illustration on back of Map.) 

Cape May, eighty-one miles from Philadelphia, is a popular and in some respects the most 
attractive seaside resort in America. More than half a century ago Cape May was visited by per¬ 
sons in search of health and recreation. It was not, however, until the popularization of steam 
navigation that it began to develop into the proportions it now presents. Watson, in his “An¬ 
nals,” describing a visit there in 1822, says, it “is a village of about twenty houses, and the 
streets are very clean and grassy.” Within the last quarter of a century its growth has been 
steady, and it rises now into the grandeur of a city, with beautiful avenues lighted with gas, 
and commodious hotels and cottages, rivaling the finest metropolitan edifices in magnificence and 
comfort. It is built upon the extreme point of the cape from which it takes its name, so called 
after Cornelius Jacobus M6y, a navigator in the service of the Dutch West India Company, who 
visited Delaware bay in 1623. The territory embraced in Cape May county was purchased from 
the Indians in 1630, by a Dutch colony—the deed for the purchase being still preserved 
among the*archives of the State of New York, at Albany. This cape forms the eastern shore 
of Delaware bay, and has the wide Atlantic on its east and south. The bathing-ground is the 
finest and safest, probably, in the United States—the waves of the mighty ocean rolling in over 
a wide, shelving shore of smooth sand, and breaking into ripples that chase each other far 
up the beach. Here, during the season, thousands of bathers, of all ages and both sexes, sport 
in the waters, while white sails and puffing steamers go gliding by, in plain sight of the 
beach, to all parts of the world. The sands of the shore, packed into solidity by the ever- 
recurring tides, form a beautiful drive extending for miles, and pleasure-carriages may be seen 
rolling along it, so close to the water that the foam of the waves flecks their wheels. The 
drives to Cold Spring and Diamond Beach, w 7 here those bright pebbles, known as “ Cape 
May diamonds,” are found, are also popular. Cape May light-house stands within the limits 
of the city, and away across the waters its twin light, at Cape Henlopen, in Delaware, may be 
seen—the two marking the entrance into Delaware bay and river. The improvement of Cape 
May is very rapid, and city lots now readily command prices that twenty years ago would 
have been considered fabulous. Every season many handsome private cottages are erected. 
The hotels are numerous—some of them being immense structures, complete and elegant in all 
their appointments. Every taste can be gratified, and all classes of visitors find satisfactory 
accommodations. The facility with which Cape May is now reached has made it a popular re¬ 
sort for excursionists, who go by thousands for a “ day by the sea and a dip in the surf,” and a 
commodious building for their accommodation has been erected by the West Jersey Railroad 
Company. Regattas, concerts and balls mingle their delights with the natural attractions of the 
place, and, during the season, life here is a continuous round of enjoyment and pleasure. The 
time consumed by the trip between Philadelphia and this “city by the sea” is less than three 
hours, and the accommodations afforded for the journey are equal to those provided on the best 
American railroads. Fare, Philadelphia to Cape May, $2.50 ; Excursion Tickets for the round 
trip, $4.00. Fast Express trains will run between Philadelphia and Cape May during the Cen¬ 
tennial Exhibition. For particulars see Philadelphia daily papers.

DEPOT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR CENTENNIAL VISITORS. 


Realizing the importance of providing suitable facilities 
ind accommodations for the immense number of travelers 
;o the Centennial Exhibition over the Pennsylvania Kail- 
•oad and its connecting lines, the managers of that organi¬ 
sation have constructed, immediately contiguous to the 
main entrance to the Exhibition grounds, a depot for the 
axclusive use of Centennial visitors. This depot stands 
apposite the open space separating the Main Exhibition 
Building from Machinery Hall, facing the principal 
entrance gate and the Judge’s Pavili< n, and in close 
proximity to several immense hotels and restaurants. It 
is 340 feet in length by 100 in width, two stories high, 
and surmounted by six towers. In design it is tasteful 
and ornamental, comparing favorably with the many beau¬ 
tiful structures erected for the purposes of the Exhibition. 
The first or ground floor contains a general waiting room, 
130 by 100 feet, a ladies’ waiting room 81 by 100 feet, a 
baggage room 49 by 100 feet, a ticket office 30 by 40 feet, a 
package room 10 by 30 feet, and a number of retiring 
rooms. All these rooms are handsomely finished, and 
provided with every convenience. The' rooms on the 


second floor are for the use of the railroad officials and em¬ 
ployees. 

This depot is reached by a circle of three tracks sweeping 
from the main roadway. The length of these tracks is 
four-fifths of a mile, and the diameter of the circle they 
describe is 600 feet. All trains will enter this circle head¬ 
ing west, and depart from the depot heading east. Three 
trains can be landing or receiving passengers in front of 
the depot at the same time, the entire tracks being floored 
over, and no matter in what direction the trains may come 
or go, they can be moved without confusion, delay or 
danger. 

Seventeen additional sidings have been constructed, 
connected with this circle, of a length of 1,000 feet 
each, upon which waiting trains can be run and remain 
with engines attached, until the time arrives for them to 
enter upon the circle, receive their passengers, and depart 
for destination. This arrangement of tracks and sidings 
is novel, and affords facilities for the transaction, without 
detention or confusion, of an almost unlimited passenger 
business. 


PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY—ENCAMPMENT NEAR PHILADELPHIA. 


For the purpose of accommodating the large number of 
agriculturist*, as well as others, who desire to visit the 
Centennial Exhibiiion, the National Grange of the Patrons 
Df Husbandry have established at Elm Station, on the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, four miles from the Exhibition 
grounds, an encampment, to remain during the continuance 
of the great World's Fair. This encampment is beautifully 
and conveniemly located on high ground, well watered and 
drained. Buildings suitably arranged are now being con¬ 
struct, d, to contain lodging rooms, restaurants, periodical, 
Irug and stationery stores, tel graph office, bowling alleys, 
jxhibition halls, etc., which will be completed by the first 
)f May. At that time twelve hundred lodging rooms, with 
;he necessary appurtenances, will be ready for occupancy, 
md the number will be enlarged as the demand increases, 
rhe large hall will be used for religious services on Sun¬ 
days, and rented for proper amusements during the remain 
ng days of the week. A special police will be on duty to 


preserve order, and every arrangement provided for the 
comfort and pleasure of visitors. The price charged will 
be uniform, fifty cents for each of three meals, and fifty 
cents for lodging, making for a full day’s accommodations 
two dollars, but the charges will only be made for meals 
and lodging had by the visitor. 

• The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have made liberal 
arrangements for the accommodation of this encampment. 
Regular trains will stop at Elm Station, where an additional 
siding 1,100 feet in length has been constructed, to land 
and take on passengers, and special trains will be run at 
suitable hours to convey passengers to and from the Exhi¬ 
bition. Round trip tickets will be slod between tlie 
encampment and the Exhibition at fifteen cents, and tiip 
tickets at ten cents. 

Informati, n in reference to this encampment can be 
obtained by addressing R. H. Thomas, Secretary, Meehan- 
icsburg, Pa.

APPENDIX. 


LODGING HOUSE AGENCY IN PHILADELPHIA. 


An Agency has been established in Philadelphia for the 
purpose of facilitating Centennial visitors in securing suit¬ 
able accommodations at reasonable rates. This Agency 
is controlled by experienced and practical men, familiar 
with the available household accommodations of Phila¬ 
delphia, who some months ago submitted their plan of 
operations to the Board of Finance of the Centennial 
Exhibition, to the presidents of the great Railways leading 
from Philadelphia, and to the Mayor of the city, which 
plan was approved and fully endorsed. Their arrange¬ 
ments now completed will enable them, if necessary, to 
provide daily for 30.000 strangers in clean, comfortable, 
well-furnished houses, with two meals of a superior quali¬ 
ty, at prices of about $2 50 per day. 

The plan of operations of this Agency is as follows: 
Tickets will be placed on sale at all the pri nci P a l railway 
offices in America and Canada, where excursion tickets 
will be sold leading to Philadelphia, while like tickets will 
be sold in Europe. Each of these tickets will provide for 
one full day’s accommodation, which day is to consist of a 
breakfast, with meat or ham and eggs, tea or coffee, two 


kinds of vegetables, etc. ; supper (or dinner) equally as 
substantial as the breakfast; and lodgings, in rooms well 
furnished, and with clean bedding (the same linen never 
being used by different persons); parlor or sitting-rooms 
for use of guests ; closets, etc., and in most cases bath¬ 
rooms, all without additional cost,—the respectability of 
the houses in all cases being vouched for. An intending 
visitor to Philadelphia can purchase as many of these 
tickets as he may need for one day or one hundred days. 
Previous to his arrival in the city he will be met on the 
tiainbya messenger of the association, who will locate 
him in one of the rooms at the disposal of the agency, and 
give him a card showing exactly how he will reach it, either 
by street car or by special conveyance, and have his bag¬ 
gage forwarded to him in the shortest possible time. 

The tickets will be accepted by the proprietor of the 
house in payment for his accommodations, and if the visi¬ 
tor should have any unused tickets they will be redeemed 
at the central office of the agency. For full information 
and special arrangements or accommodations, apply to 
Wm. Hamilton, General Superintendent, 1010 Walnut 
Street, Philadelphia.
